Barcoding
Barcoding is a quick and easy way to get more out of your TMS system, go paperless, and increase productivity.  With Four Rivers, implementing barcoding doesn't have to be a time consuming and expensive process.  Barcoding can now be done with multiple devices and with several different types of labels.  Depending upon your business needs and environment, there are several solutions available. 
 
We've helped a number of organizations implement a barcoding system to increase productivity, minimize data entry errors, and improve reporting on assets such as Life Safety Equipment.
 
How can you use barcoding with TMS?  Here are just a few of the ways our customers are using barcoding and TMS:
 

Automatic Work Order Completion.  With the scan and go feature, a technician can scan an asset barcode and the My Work Orders feature will walk them through completing a work order.

Charging Materials and Inventory of Parts.  During the completion of a Work Order, technicians can scan a barcode and charge materials used to that work order.  At the same time, your inventory of parts is updated reflecting the usage.  Organizations can now capture accurate materials and keep accurate inventory records.

Life Safety Equipment Inspections.  Healthcare organizations know how important it is to keep track of the inspections of their Life Safety Equipment.  By quickly scanning a barcode on the asset, the technician can be taken through a number of inspections steps quickly and efficiently.

Patient Room Inspections.  Once a room has been cleaned and is ready for the next patient, housekeeping can scan the barcode associated with the room to indicate it is ready for occupancy.

Security.  Keep an accurate account of all of your assets and their location.  Always know where your assets are so they can be located quickly when needed or kept secure when in storage.

Asset Sweep. Asset Sweeps allow you to track all of your assets and their site, building, and location. 

Task Readings.  Associate a barcode with a particular set of task readings.  When the technician scans the barcode they receive the relevant task readings for that asset.
